The LHFO PRMP/FEIS is being 

developed by the BLM. The PRMP/FEIS 

includes strategies for protecting and 

preserving the biological, cultural, 

recreational, geological, educational, 

scientific, and scenic values that 

balance multiple uses of the BLMadministered lands throughout the 

LHFO planning area. 

The Proposed Plan attempts to 

accomplish the above through 

coordination with the Bureau of 

Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Arizona Department of 

Transportation, Arizona State Land 

Department, Arizona Game and Fish 

Department, California Department of 

Fish and Game, the BLM, and other land 

managing agencies within the 

boundaries of the planning areas. The 

range of alternatives in this PRMP\FEIS 

evaluates planning decisions brought 

forward from the current BLM planning 

documents; the Yuma District Resource 

Management Plan (1987), Kingman 

Resource Area Resource Management 

Plan (1995), Lower Gila South Resource 

Management Plan (1988) and Lower 

Gila North Management Framework 

Plan (1983). 

The Proposed Plan identifies five 

potential Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACECs): Beale 

Slough Riparian and Cultural ACEC 

(2,395 acres); Bullhead Bajada Natural 

and Cultural ACEC (7,090 acres); 

Crossman Peak Scenic ACEC (48,855 

acres); Swansea Historic District ACEC 

(5,973 acres); and Three Rivers Riparian 

ACEC (2,246 acres). The following types 

of resource use limitations would 

generally apply to these ACECs: (1) 

Design grazing prescriptions to achieve 

the desired plant community objectives; 

(2) Recreation facilities would be 

limited to projects that protect ACEC 

values; (3) Camping would be limited to 

developed or signed sites; and (4) Travel 

would be permitted only on designated 

open and signed routes. For detailed 

information see Chapter 2 Description of 

Alternatives, Special Area Designations 

section.

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

Implementation of Recreation 

Resource Advisory Committee 

Provisions of the Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act (Public 

Law 108–447, Div. J, Title VIII) 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of BLM implementation 

of the Recreation Resource Advisory 

Committee provisions of the Federal 

Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the 

Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) 

implementation of the Recreation 

Resource Advisory Committee 

provisions of the Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act. 

Pursuant to the Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act and a 

signed Interagency Agreement between 

the Department of the Interior and the 

Department of Agriculture, the BLM 

will utilize existing BLM Resource 

Advisory Councils to make 

recommendations on BLM and Forest 

Service recreation fee issues in the 

following States: Arizona, Idaho, 

Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North 

Dakota, South Dakota and Utah. 

Both the BLM and the FS will use 

new Recreation RACs, chartered by the 

FS, for the Pacific Northwest Region 

(Oregon and Washington), the Pacific 

Southwest Region (California), the State 

of Colorado, and for the Eastern and 

Southern Regions (these represent most 

States east of the Rockies). 

Any of the existing BLM Resource 

Advisory Councils or the new FSchartered RRACs may also establish 

Subcommittees for recreation fee-related 

matters. 

Note: Neither the FS nor the BLM will use 

Recreation RACs where the Secretaries of 

Agriculture and the Interior, in consultation 

with the Governor of individual States, have 

determined that sufficient interest does not 

exist in forming a FS-chartered Recreation 

RAC or using a BLM RAC as allowed in the 

Recreation Enhancement Act (REA). Those 

States that are not establishing Recreation 

RACs are Alaska, Wyoming and Nebraska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement 

Act (REA), enacted December 8, 2004, 

directs the Secretary of the Interior, the 

Secretary of Agriculture, or both, to 

establish Recreation Resource Advisory 

Committees, or to use existing Resource 

Advisory Councils or boards to perform 

the duties of Recreation Resource 

Advisory Committees, in each State or 

region for Federal recreation lands and 

waters managed by the BLM or Forest 

Service. These committees, councils or 

boards will make recreation fee program 

recommendations on: 

• Implementing or eliminating 

standard amenity fees, expanded 

amenity fees, and non-commercial, 

individual special recreation permit 

fees; 

• Expanding or limiting the 

recreation fee program; and 

• Changing fee levels. 

REA also states that the Secretaries 

shall not establish a Recreation 

Resource Advisory Committees in a 

State if the Secretaries determine, in 

consultation with the Governor of the 

State, that sufficient interest does not 

exist to ensure that participation on the 

committee is balanced in terms of the 

points of view represented and the 

functions to be performed. 

To help determine the appropriate 

configuration of these advisory groups, 

the BLM and the Forest Service held 11 

listening sessions in Idaho, Oregon, 

California, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, 

Georgia, and Washington DC, during 

June and July of 2005. Attendees 

included key partners, organizations 

with an interest in recreation 

management on Federal lands, and 

existing BLM and Forest Service 

Resource Advisory Council members. 

After more than a year of these public 

meetings, internal agency analysis, and 

legal review, the agencies established an 

organizational structure that has been 

approved by both the Department of the 

Interior and the Department of 

Agriculture. This organization includes 

using existing BLM Resource Advisory 

Councils where appropriate. It also 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 184 / Friday, September 22, 2006 / Notices 55511 

includes establishing five new 

Recreation Resource Advisory 

Committees for the Forest Service’s 

Eastern, Southern, Pacific Northwest 

(including BLM states of Oregon and 

Washington), Pacific Southwest 

(including the BLM state of California) 

Regions and the State of Colorado; using 

an existing Forest Service advisory 

committee for one Forest; and not 

establishing Recreation Resource 

Advisory Committees where Secretaries, 

in consultation with the Governor of 

each State, have determined that 

sufficient interest does not exist as 

allowed in REA (Alaska, Nebraska, and 

Wyoming). 

The agencies and Secretaries have 

signed an Interagency Agreement which 

provides the structure necessary for the 

Forest Service to use existing BLM 

Resource Advisory Councils and the 

BLM to use Forest Service-established 

Recreation Resource Advisory 

Committees for the purposes stated in 

REA. Where the Agencies determined it 

was inappropriate to use existing BLM 

Advisory Councils, the Agencies have 

agreed to either: (1) Establish a new 

Recreation RAC, which may serve both 

Agencies or may only serve one Agency; 

(2) use an existing FS advisory 

committee; or (3) not establish a 

Recreation RAC in a State where the 

Secretaries, in consultation with the 

Governor of the affected State, have 

determined that sufficient interest does 

not exist, as allowed under REA. 

For the new Recreation Resource 

Advisory Committees, the Forest 

Service will be the lead agency 

(including the BLM states of California, 

Colorado, Oregon and Washington). The 

BLM will continue to be the lead agency 

for its Resource Advisory Councils.
